BriarRose 437 Posted September 24, 2020 I have decided this past year to abandon a “size” or poundage goal. I have lived as a morbidly obese person for so many years. I lost over 140 pounds then had regain over 8 years. I lost the regain in the past year. I am 5’2”. Now. I shrunk - being 64 now. I now weigh about 175. I went from over 320 pounds to 175. I am comfortable here. I feel good. I am maintaining the weight loss with healthy and mindful eating. I am never going to reach my surgeon’s goal for me 10 years ago. (145 ) I am happy to be where I am. Once Covid calms down I will get labs done - I am back to having lost 145 pounds. No plastics - but yes to excess skin and trapped fat. I don’t want any elective surgeries. I am happy wearing a petite size 16. Live happily within yourself. And congratulations on a healthy you ! 8 3 JAKE H, WishMeSmaller, Sophie7713 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WishMeSmaller 1,274 Posted September 27, 2020 Not an especially amazing outfit, but...I haven’t been able to wear the t-shirt in over 10 years. I have a stack of t-shirts from the last time I was at this weight. For some reason, I just couldn’t get rid of them. 😬 The only thing keeping the jeans from the floor is a belt, though😂 In the background, you can see one of three packed contractors garbage bags filled with clothes that are too big! Yay! 6 2 Cheeseburgh, DaisyChainOz, Nermada and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arabesque 7,442 Posted September 29, 2020 Welcome newcomers. Looking forward to many pxts of your lots. Popped out to buy a gift for my nephew who’s turning 3 soon. (He’s my favourite nephew as he’s the only one shorter than me - not that difficult. The other two are 6’4”+.) Decided to wear a faux leather top I picked up in winter & never got round to wearing. Perfect for this time of year. But my shoes are a little big on me now - sigh! 7 Nermada, GreenTealael, ms.sss and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're all gone unfortunately .😪 I will not be going back on zulily anytime soon, my shoe addiction has reached a new high!!! Don't even ask how many pairs of shoes I've ordered in the last 2 months!! My only excuse is, all boots were under $15, and all the rest under $10. Still, don't ask, cause I'll never tell! (15 shhhhhh)😏 1 DaisyChainOz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they always bring back that brand, it's called Gobi and they are a beautifully made Turkish brand, I believe. I have so many of their mules, which are now all too big! Sigh! I'm more into heels now anyway, so no regrets. 😉 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
